a younger mans bias. a man over 45, financially well off, not thinking off how much noise a car makes, or kilometers per litre of petrol or cost comparisons. that's who this car is being marketed to! understatement is why i love this car. a younger man, under 35, with limited finances, and still some boyhood tastes, sees everything differently. i have a few million, i want the power,(better to have it and not need it), the comfort, i love flying under the radar, and as for cost, i'm sure i will die leaving money in my bank account! also this car is marketed to those of us who have several cars, not one or two.

It’s a good point, similar position, tho I don’t want a turbo, if I want to go fast I”ll fire up one of my ducatis, I’ll take a Carrera 4. I really havent got the balls to drop 180 large on a car. I like the colour. 911s really aren’t my dream car either.

Surely the Turbo S is the ultimate ‘compromise’ (in a privileged sense) car with unbeatable bandwidth for the buyer who can only have two cars - for parking/garaging reasons rather than financial. What else pairs this level of performance with an ability to sit in car parks without drawing too much attention?

A car enthusiast will always consider noise levels of a sports car and how fast it can go disregards of his age otherwise he would go buy himself a Bentayga and sure a sports car will never be your only car but you take it out when you are in the mood to get naughty.

Agree. I have a 997 Turbo (less money 😊) and a couple of larger SUVs. However I just bought a very low mileage Abarth 124 Spider. The 911 Turbo is brutal but anywhere but a track the Abarth is more fun. I'm replacing the cheapest plastic bits (like the sun visors) but sometimes money can steer you wrong.

I recently got to drive a friend’s Turbo S over a mix of roads. As someone who has run base Carreras for over 20 years (a 993 and a 997), I have to say I was mightily impressed by it’s sheer competence. Impressed but not moved by the experience in anywhere near the same way I am every time I drive the Carreras. Made me think of a hefty sledgehammer versus pure and delicate scalpels.

Dude. You just compared, and I’ll stick with the 997, to a turbo s. Scalpel? In the motor tend figure 8, where you need to be a scalpel, the turbo S did it in 22 seconds. 2 seconds faster than 997 Carrera. Nurburgring Nord track, turbo s bests the 997 by 40 seconds man. Take all that out and it still takes 20ft more to stop your 997. Now 992 a different story. Motortend figure 8 the base 911 only loses to turbo s by .2 seconds. But still loses on the nord track by 13 seconds. Still has a worse lateral g. 2 full seconds slower from 0-100 All these cars are great for what each of us want. If you have the roads, want a daily driving rocket ship where you have many chances of feeling that acceleration and in control no matter the conditions, and have the $. Turbo s hands down every day. If you like rear wheel drive, and don’t have the roads, cash, don’t drive aggressive, well 911 base is your car. Still does 0-60 in 3.2. Gt3 is awesome. But not a daily driver at all. More expensive than a turbo s. But I can get it in a manual and it’s fun as hell. It is more raw. Honestly it’d be great to have the turbo s as your daily and gt3 as your play toy. If $$ were unlimited : )

Yah I was a bit disappointed when I test drove the 992 turbo s. Its obviously fast but kind of soft and still had some lag. Hopping back into my MC20 immediately after, the MC20 def felt faster mainly because it was lower, louder, better steering ratio, RWD, and more raw. At that level of speed and hp, I'll take the car that has the better driving feel and sensation of speed over the car that objectively has a slightly quicker 0-60 and 1/4 mile time.

Turbo S has frequency adjustable auto windscreen wipers, operated from the column stalk. I live in the West Country with predominantly single carriageway roads and find the Turbo S one of the safest cars I have ever driven. There's enough grunt for every situation with overtaking opportunities that would not be possible in a Carrera.

hey joel, great review as always, although i have something to point out, it does have rain sensing wipers. according to the manual book, to activate the rain sensing function is to put the stalk in the intermittent position, and to set the sensitivity of it is to toggle the intermittent speed switch to increase or decrease the sensitivity. this is how it is on porsches, including the macans, cayennes, they don't have an "auto" label on the wiper stalk, cheers.

I own a 991 Turbo and can relate to this video. It is an amazing grand tourer. Comfortable, smooth and lots of power on reserve. Where it falls short is on that visceral feel. You feel very removed from the engine, chassis, and road. If you look at this car from a lens of refinement it’s quite amazing what they have achieved. However if you look at it from the view of an analog, focused sports car…the cayman is a better platform

I have a 991.2 Turbo S. I don't find it feels removed from anything to be honest. Mine has a tune and exhaust, nothing else and makes nearly 700hp. To be fair, they did significantly upgrade the steering for the 991.2 and it has quite a bit more feel than the 991.1. I've done a dozen track days, and about the same amount of drag strip nights over the past 7 seasons and for me, it's terrific and gives me just the feedback I need because I'm acclimatized to it. It is RUTHLESSLY fast in the right environment. The exhaust gave it some soul / noise that the car needed. Hanging the tail out in a particular sequence of corners in my car is hilarious fun, people that tell you these cars have no soul etc. just aren't driving them fast enough because they have HIGH levels of competence.

Great review. I'm still thrilled with my 997.2TT (PDK). I do use its performance (situationally aware) every day, and I like its low profile: quiet exhaust; tame aero; and the AWD reduces wheelspin, especially in Winter driving. 997's are more compact with more steering feedback (hydraulic). I do agree that poor fuel efficiency is a significant downside costwise, environmentally, with frequent fill-ups. I do miss Android Auto, and backup camera. I agree that its weight at 3700 lbs is a deficit. I opted for EVOMSit so I've got over 600bhp.

Safely mod it to ~ 1000 hp, , always drive it in Sport plus and be ready to frequently use the 20 second boost button to keep the hyper-speed window small by following up a smooth boost/throttle modulated auto shift session with those great brakes to elude the constabulary. You will need headers, 100 cell cats, and a Tubi Style straight pipe muffler by pass to enjoy the aural character of this beast that was chained and muzzled by the time it was released from the production line.

Problem is…. The top spec 911 cars just perplex me on the “value equation”. As you say, it’s twice the cost of the entry 911 which at £100k more, makes one wonder, what could be possibly worth the extra. I love Porsche and have owned plenty in last 25 years. Same issue presented itself when looking to upgrade my McLaren 570 spider… the increased cost to a new 720 spider was over £100k… and I couldn’t justify that, so just bought a Ferrari California T instead which is a great GT car verses an out-n-out sports car. So now I have two cars that do different things for the price of one, and still some left over to get a GR Yaris to hoon around a track with impunity…😁

Decent video, although it’s obvious that you’re not a fan of the car. We all know that a super car can’t be fully utilized on public roads and we all know that the base 911 is a lot of car for the money. Before you say that the cruise control, the wipers or the CarPlay doesn’t do this or that, it might be a good idea to take a couple of minutes to look in the owner’s manual and see how these things operate, so you can prevent yourself from making false statements about them.

Nice video but there is a glaring error in it PDDC does not stiffen the suspension. it is to stiffens the engine mounts to help in cornering (you don't have a moment of force on the rear engine moving in it mounts in the corner). So it does create a more jiggly ride on the straights but improves cornering. To stiffen the suspension you need to change the suspension modes (Sports and sports+).

What a statement. So just because you have a super car, you should not use public roads. I have a 2014, never launched it, drive it a lot and sometimes on open highways get it up to 110 as a great driver. I have seen thousands of cars pass me, so does that make them all bad drivers? Try to tell that to the drivers that have been drinking! And you worry about sport enthusiasts. In a week, I get the 2024 version, but it took a year and a half for the allocation, so believe me, it’s well worth it. We all have different opinions about cars, and unless you own one, able to afford one, or like your type, anyone else can tell you why you should not get one. I have owned many BMWs, and a Mercedes, but would never get anything besides the Turbo S. My opinion.

I think this is why people love the 997 turbo. It’s brutal fast but manageable and the perfect size.

Joel you stepped up the standards with excellent production including the beautiful scenery, well done and keep up this superb production. In summary watching your contents on the 911 base V 911 turbo, power corrupts. I get your point this car is excess to requirements. I drive a base Cayman and after extended test drive of Cayman S I could barely justify buying the latter considering the value and the performance difference. Brilliant review.

…with respect to the exhaust, I replaced the OEM with an aftermarket 3” X-pipe exhaust and it completely transformed my driving enjoyment/experience. The Turbo is known as “Top” in Germany, so it’s considered the King of 911s. Enough said. YMMV.

finally someone has the guts to say the truth - the car has actually got too good for the current road legistlation and sensible saftety ! Good on you Joel, and good on Porsche supporting you. I've kind of given up on these videos on youtube, but this is refreshing ..... and I expect Porsche will come good with a GT3 (hopefully RS). I would be particularly interested in a video of you driving GT3 at the Silverstone experience centre as I am thinking of booking for me and my son as a treat, but I suspect the GT3 might have outgrown that facility as the 4S we both drove there seemed plenty quick enough !!

I have a 2021 BMW S1000RR M package motorbike - 207bph and all the driving modes and features you have in a modern 911. The bike has way more power than I will ever need or use and I have only ever used one of its driving modes but I never think this bike is ridiculous and I was silly to buy it because its way too fast for me or the law. Just owning one of the fastest bikes on the road today is enough enjoyment for me. Id have that Turbo S in a heartbeat too if I could afford it even if I would rarely exceed the speed limit in it.

Having been lucky enough to won a few 911's over the years, I find it hard to get any emotional excitement out of the modern versions with turbo's. They just sound asthmatic - looks wise they are stunning in my eyes but I miss the mechanical flat 6 howl. Based on that, would an electric 911 be any different?. Just saying....

Completely agree, there is fast and there is stupid fast and stupid fast is really only for the "top of the range" brigade not the enthusiasts.

To take a car like this that is built for a very specific purpose and judge it like you would judge a Toyota Camry seems bit of a waste of time. There are very few people who actually get these cars and none of them care about any of the complaints being mentioned in this review. Try a Cabriolet version on an open highway on a bright day, there’s nothing like it. Keep one for more than 3 months, you will want it to go faster. No car is too fast once you get used to it. If worried about breaking speed limits, why would anyone even consider a sports car like this? But thank you for your effort.
